Order your beer
through the serving hatch which is the outside wall of the front room of the
original cottage, with built-in bench seats and a fireplace for chilly days
and evenings.

The tables
come from the waiting room of the old Beck Hole station, and just inside the
door is a 'settle' that could tell a tale or two.

Lots of
photographs around the walls give you a glimpse of the past, and the old salt
cupboard in the corner now holds trophies won by the Beck Hole Quoits Team.

Shop

Opened
in the 1860's to sell provisions to the many miners and railway workers
and their families who moved to Beck Hole in the boom time of the
Industrial Revolution. The shop, sandwiched between the two bars,
sells sweets, ice creams & soft drinks, postcards, plasters, stamps,
tissues & toothbrushes.

You'll find sweets you haven't seen
for years, from aniseed balls to liquorice root, pear drops
to pontefract cakes, and our irresistibly wicked fudge. Even sweets
for a penny each so you can mix & match your own !

Little Bar

With
access directly to benches outside, this bar is very busy in fine
weather. On chilly days it's a cosy place to meet new people or amuse
the kids with our collection of curosities.

Originally part of
the shop, it still has all the shelves around the walls. Although
nowadays they're full of our own 'precious things' and childhood treasures.

You could play 'I Spy' for a lifetime in here and
never have the same thing twice !

Not
quite the smallest bar in the country but not far off.

But
small as it is the record number we've had inside with the door shut
stands, as of June 2010, at 30 and two ( very
small ) dogs.

Terrace and Garden

As
of August 2010 youl no longer have to climb the two flights of old
stone steps at the side of the pub to enjoy outdoor seating

We have made a new garden by the riverside...

more
spacious,more sheltered and all on the level so it has easy access
for everyone all year round..... .

Well behaved children and dogs on lead are welcome
in the garden as well as in the little bar.
